Real Madrid 4-1 Al Ahly; Los Blancos Storm into the Finals of Club World Cup

After nearly 4 months, the Champions League is back and this time out in the Round of 16 the defending champions Real Madrid will travel to Anfield to face the PL giants Liverpool Football club. It’s a direct repeat of last year’s final and there would be no doubt that both teams would be giving it their all in this massive game. Liverpool would be hoping to avenge their UCL final defeat to Los Blancos, whereas Madrid would be looking to continue on their good form against the Merseyside team.

Both teams haven’t had the best of domestic campaigns in their league as on one hand, Klopp’s men are way down in 9th in the PL table, whereas Madrid are 8 points off the top and behind their arch-rivals FC Barcelona. But UCL is a tournament where their season can be changed and a win for either of these sides would be surely a statement victory. All in all, with the incredible crowd support that Liverpool would be receiving and their fantastic record at home, might just make them win this encounter.

Match Details:

Location: Liverpool, England

Stadium: Anfield
Date: Tuesday 21 February
Kick-off Time: 8:00 pm GMT / 1:30 am IST
